Currency fluctuations can result in loss of revenue, which may impact your company’s cash flow. One method to reduce your risk (or actively hedge) against currency fluctuations is to use forward contracts to lock in an exchange rate.
This works well if several months are likely to pass between signing a contract and making or receiving a payment. It’s essentially a buy now and pay later strategy with a locked-in exchange rate set to a future date. By fixing the rate in advance, you can manage your budget and cash flow without worrying about currency volatility.
